The Council’s existing monitoring programme only collects chlorophyll a once a year,
during summer (worst case flow conditions). Therefore, a comparison against the new
attribute’s standards cannot be made. An analysis to compare with the new NoF guideline is
presented below, for indicative purposes only. It should be noted that since the Council is
sampling under worst-case conditions, then clearly if such a result falls into an A, B, or
and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.
Active dunelands exist at some of the larger river mouths and dominate the
volcano and associated peaks and surrounding ring-plain of volcanic
debris slopes gently seaward to the north and west and abuts the sedimentary hill country to the
east. Approximately 8 m of rain falls annually on Mt Taranaki and more than 365 fast-flowing
rivers emanate from the mountain in a radial pattern across the ring-plain. Taranaki Region is
dissected by more than 20,000 kilometres (km) of rivers and streams which are a particular
feature of the landscape. This includes the 39 km

Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.

taking Taranaki forward. Proposals over the coming six years are:
To complete the existing upgrade programme at Pukeiti, including the replacement Lodge, carpark
extension, landscaping, new features for children’s activities.
To complete a trail within Pukeiti to link to the Kaitake Trail being developed by the New Plymouth District
Council on a paper road down the coast, as an integral part of the Taranaki Crossing. This link would include
a treetop canopy walk across a rain forested
